Chipping slowly away at my New England vacation album from last summer, I decided to document a fun unplanned detour we made on our longest travel day of our trip. Instead of remembering a boring day with hours of monotonous miles, we will remember our last minute decision to stop in Boston for a second time on our trip to visit Bunker Hill Monument. Marking the official end of the red bricked Boston Freedom Trail that bends around seemingly every corner of the city, Bunker Hill was a great way to stretch our legs and get some much needed exercise climbing to the top of the monument after a long day in the car. We’ve been to Boston a handful of times over the years but never experienced this historic site. It was fun and refreshing, located in a beautiful neighborhood in the city. I pride myself to be a National Park nerd, and hopefully someday my boys will look back at all the stamps in their national park passport books and laugh and reminisce fondly at all the parks mom dragged them to.
